    Hi PBI_Rookie ,

    Sorry for replying late. Did the blank value not show in the matrix? If so, you need to create a seprate table for this column, create relationships between them and create a measure to + 0 to show:

    Table = DISTINCT('Specifications'[V])
    Measure = SUM('Table'[V]) + 0

    Now the conditonal format rule should work:

    Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

Hello,

 

I tried what you suggested. I made one change from UpperLimitCheck to Lowerlimit check as that is where the null values  are(in red). I'm still seeing the same issue as before with flagging a null table value. Did I miss something in your suggestion?

 

Thank you

 

Format =
VAR LowerLimitCheck = AVERAGE(Specifications[LSL])-AVERAGE(results[VALUE])
VAR UpperLimitCheck = AVERAGE(results[VALUE])-AVERAGE(Specifications[USL]) Return IF(LowerLimitCheck >0,"#f25a38",SWITCH(TRUE(),ISBLANK(LowerLimitCheck),"#04bf9d", IF(UpperLimitCheck >0,"#f25a38","#04bf9d")
